Good luck with the H WL convoy!!

Also, plot twist in the S applicants thread...DLS can now mean WL or ding. Once you get that status, you can call the office to get your decision if you can't wait for the mail.

Hey onward and upward and you never know if/when HLS will call in the summer, so stay positive.

That nearly free Cornell sitting in your back pocket means you're playing with house money in any case.

H takes quite a.few from their WL. If you're willing to ride it out until August, I'd say you've got a solid.shot of getting in.

Yes, it can still happen Convoy.
Also I am suspecting Dini might be getting at JS2 soon.
Any other HLS updates here?

I feel you 180. I'm feeling like a retake is in order. It's almost April and I haven't heard from nine schools.

Looks like I would be retaking as well really not what I want but my hope is dwindling by the second. Lots of wait list/held for me still waiting to hear from 5 schools but I am not hopeful plus I don't want to be tied to law school debt for most of my life so paying sticker is a no in my book (if I am luck and get off the wait list at my top choice).

Thanks for the support, guys! Luckily, I'm really happy with my options, so this hopefully will just make my decision easier/faster.

Good luck to everyone still waiting on decisions!

ETA: Nope, not KJD. Several years of WE.

If we do sheets like that, it is much more likely that it might out someone that doesn't want to be outed.

I don't really think there's any downside to being outed for the people who have already decided, so an attending column seems safe to me.

Looking at this cycle (and the spreadsheet) has me really questioning the "black by the numbers" thread. I've always believed it, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be right, but it looks like we have at least 11 AAs with scores at/over 167 on the spreadsheet. I highly doubt only 20 AA scored that high in total =\

It might be nice to add submission dates, if people feel comfortable with it.
